Spacious Vacation Home in the Harima Natural Highlands Club
This property is a vacation home located within the exclusive Harima Natural Highlands Club in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture. The land is exceptionally spacious, covering approximately 314.67 tsubo (1,040.25 sqm), offering expansive grounds surrounded by vast natural scenery. The property can accommodate parking for four or more vehicles.
The building itself is a two-story wooden structure built in January 1983, with a total floor area of 97.71 sqm. The layout is a 3LDK. It is important to note that the roof was previously damaged by a fallen tree during a typhoon, causing water leakage. However, the roof has since been fully repaired. The interior ceiling on the second floor still shows signs of the past leak and will require repair.
A key condition of purchase is that the buyer must become a member of the Harima Natural Highlands Club. Initial costs include a membership fee of 200,000 yen, an annual management fee of 70,000 yen, a deposit of 100,000 yen, and a water meter installation fee of 38,500 yen. Access to the highland area is secured 24 hours a day by a gated entry system, prohibiting unauthorized entry by non-residents or non-members.
The area is part of the scenic Harima region, known for its rolling hills and peaceful countryside. An interesting local fact is that Bizen City is famous for its traditional Bizen-yaki pottery, a craft with over a thousand years of history, fired without glaze in wood-burning kilns. The closest major landmark is the historic Okayama Castle, known as "Crow Castle" due to its black exterior, located approximately an hour's drive away.
